Portion of Route 31 Closed Effective 4/22/24
The Village of South Elgin and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) have entered into an agreement to reconstruct the portion of McLean Boulevard between Spring Street and Stearns Road, which has been one of the Village's goals for many years.
The road is currently owned and managed by IDOT as an unmarked state route. With a $12.5 million grant from IDOT, the Village will reconstruct and widen the street. Upon completion, the road will be transferred to the Village of South Elgin. There is land acquisition needed and IDOT will complete this work. Affected property owners will be notified of the land acquisition by IDOT.
